    Do You Take The Phone Outside?

    I currently don't take mine out with me but wondered what everyone else does? Should I take it out with me? I've had parent call when we are outside and when they arrive for pick mention they tried to call and there was no answer is everything alright? So it got me thinking should I take it out with me its a cordless not a cell we have to have hard wired landline per licensing.

      I have my cell with me in case parents try to reach me, whoever call the landline can leave a message

        I take the cordless with me,my emergency contact #'s, mini 1st aid kit and wipes. Just easier to have it all on hand should I need it.

          When the weather's nice, I'll have the cordless with me. Otherwise, I just have my cell. All but one DCP regularly contacts me via text/messaging, so most of the time, the cordless is for other calls. My own kids are in school, so I like to be accessible for that reason as well.

            This ^^^

            I don't go anywhere without my emergency contact (index cards on a ring), my first aid kit, my cordless phone, my cell phone, wet wipes and a plastic bag (for garbage).

              My cell (only phone) goes outside along with wipes & mini first aid kit; emergency contacts are in the phone under each child's name

                yes, I take it outside if we are in the yard. I take cell when we go for walks per licensing - which is so funny because 90% of the village I live in doesn't have cell coverage! My parents expect the answering machine though because if we are busy I let it pick up anyway.
                I do not take emergency contact info with me in the yard because it is right inside the playroom door if I would need it. But first aid kit.

                  My only # is my cell, so it is always with me.

                      Ohio requires a land line and a cell.

                        I have my landline forwarded to my cell through the phone company. So if I don't answer my landline after several rings it goes right to my cell and starts ringing.

                          I do that too. We are required to have a landline for licensing.

                              I take my cell everywhere. None of my dc parents call my house, they all text my cell. Plus it has all emergency contact info in it, along with a picture of each child, etc. etc. so god forbid anything happened I would have all that at my fingertips.
